I didnt want to highjack the Prop 8 thread so I made a new one.
In the Prop 8 thread the subject of homosexuality (sexual orientation, really) being a choice came up. There were some opinions throw out there back and forth but I thought of somthing, what about people who go to prison and are straight, have sex with the same sex while they are there, and then go back to having sex with the opposite sex when they get out? This realy boggles me because I've been deployed to Iraq twice, once for a year, and then for 15 months. I never looked at any of the other guys and thought about having sex with them. Could it be that the prison enviroment actually brings out the true sexual nature of people?
there is alot less sex going on in prison than you think.
Prison is not at all like the show OZ. or like the movie american me
and like what was said already 15 months is not at all long enough for anyone to say “screw it I need to get off” and start raping people
after lets say 15 years,thats when some people (notice I say some) just have to fall to their natural urges,which is to have sex even if its another guy. these are usualy the mental unstable ones as it is and is not generally tolerated.
most people would masturbate if the urge comes up.
and actually when I was locked up there were rules (prisoners have rules and a code of conduct) and no mater what race it was they had the same major rules.
one of them with the whites was no gay relationships and no rapes.
you go in and you rape someone or have sex with a homo and you was risking getting beat up badly possibly killed
the lifers are mainly the ones that dont care anymore. but even at that only a small portion will actually have sex with another man,after a while you get used to not having a woman around and you dont care about getting laid.
some times you will have the odd rapes,its not for pleasure though its mainly some sick way for that person to claim dominance, because people just like any animal when locked away from everything will turn feral if they are crazy already
these people are kept in check by the other inmates for the most part.
Prisoners are split into race and each race have their own government with
leaders,spokesmen,ambassadors, law enforcement everything
everything that happens out here happens inside on a small scale.everything all the way down to economics
prison life is alot more complicated than most think. and it is just a different kind of civilized community.
but people always want to equate being locked up as humans turning into animals.
